I had a long discussion about the spam on the wiki about with Nathan Kinkade about a year ago. There are several methods in place to try and stop spammers. The ones that get through are either placed by humans or using accounts that are created by humans. It takes human effort to block them as it is, something that CC-HQ had no personnel for at the time.
I tried to help a bit, but it was tedious and not very useful. I did remove all the nudity I could find in the mediastore of wiki last year though. That is a task with things that cannot be unseen..
